ROME (CNN) — In an interview published a day after his death, a prominent progressive Catholic cardinal left the best summary of his contribution to debates within the Church.

“The Church has remained 200 years behind the times. Why has it not been shaken up?” Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini said in an interview published in Saturday’s Corriere dell Sera newspaper. “Are we scared? Fear instead of courage? However, faith is the fundamental to the church.”

He died Friday at age 85, the Archdiocese of Milan announced.

Martini suffered from Parkinson’s disease and died at his residence in Milan, where he had lived since 2008, when the disease forced him to leave Jerusalem, the archdiocese said.
